Asked at Borders, Books, Music and Cafe on January 22, 2003

“If they’d add it to what they cover, definitely. That would be a decent thing, help people out.”

— Josh Armstrong, Barnes and Noble employee, Topeka

“For nonprescription, I don’t think so, but if there is a doctor’s prescription, I guess.”

— Kenton Slaubaugh, computer system architect, Lawrence

“Definitely, because reproductive health care includes access to contraceptives.”

— Cynthia Annett, biologist, Oskaloosa

“Yeah, they should cover everything. We should get free medical care, just like in Canada. The government is much more open-minded and for the people there. Here, government is run for the corporations.”
